Always looking for the cheapest flights - driving ticket prices down and down and down, cutting the pay of the employees - making them work more jobs to make ends meet. And supporting shitty carriers that screw over employees at every step of the way. Everybody is in search of cheap flights, they think it is their god given right to travel across the country for $50.
Look at what happened to Colgan Air - and all the other accidents that have been a cause of pilot fatigue... Look at the RV city that has been setup at LAX! It makes you wonder how much sleep those sitting up from have received - It's not like flight training is expensive or anything... and after going 40-60k in debt, it's completely acceptable, if not expected to work for 10.00/hour OR LESS.
Everybody thinks pilots make 6 figure salaries... but that is hardly the case. More often then not we're working multiple jobs, barely making ends meet, and never getting enough rest. All due to the demand that ticket prices go lower and lower. But it is as the old saying goes "Dead passengers are cheaper then injured ones."

Oh, look at Locke, crusader for the common man and champion of a living wage.
What's that, you say?
Locke is against unionized employees striking for better wages? Well, I'm sure he has his reasons.

With every other perfessional making LESS money nowadays, what makes them think that they deserve any more?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
